Community Tasting Note

  March 9, 2010 - nose: charcoal, cocoa paste, just a tiny bit of olive and a wee reminder of alcohol (14.3% per the label. I'm guessing it's accurate)
  palate: similar to the nose, but with a rich black fruit and olive tapenade kind of flavor. A bit chalky in the mouth, I noted hints of cocoa and spice. The medium weight has a fatness to it, spreading all across the tongue. Alcohol is in check (though not un-noticeable) and the acidity is seamless. However, I suspect a year or so ago the fruit may have been more vibrant. Still, a lovely drink, and priced well in the $25 winebid purchase realm, though I would not pay more. 88-89 pts.
